The way it looks now, the establishment GOP is part of the liberal Democrat party, and the Tea Party conservative movement should now be deemed the New Republican Party.

I'm happy for them, if that is a true couple. Not being in the military, my girlfriend of nine years is a Somali Muslim. Many think the negative, but realize, how the female Muslim populous was raised before encountering someone who treats them as an equal, not as a possession. It's more than what's under the burka. Read Proverbs 31:10-31 and you'll know what I mean.

Couldn't be more right, Dr. Giles. Rome wasn't built in a day, and our nation can't be saved in one term. Thomas Jefferson said that the price for freedom is eternal vigilance. If we can be around as long as these politicians, like Robert Byrd, or even Ted Kennedy, the better our country will be off. And we can get things straightened out, THE RIGHT WAY.

Unfortunately, the Republican party, and parts of the conservative movement have waxed cold on a lot of things, because we can only concentrate our thoughts, energy, time and money at one thing at a time. Democrats and liberals have multiple connections to get this done, whereas we do not. It'll take a generation to undo the damage Obamacare will wreak on our economy, and hopefully, we'll come out better, or we won't come out of it at all. Progressives are STUCK ON STUPID. PERIOD.
